2) Can you highlight our working progress?
  • First, form you group, and sign up and become a member of Luolaoshi's wikispaces on http://luolaoshi.wikispaces.com/ (Please use the same login info of your Moodle's)
  • Secondly, you and your group member draft the skit on paper collaboratively;
  • Then one of you should follow the instruction on the wiki to create a page of the script, give a name to that page, hyperlink it to your group name. Route: Wiki/Class Blog/小品表演/2012-2013 Chinese III Dining Skit (MP1);
  • Lastly, all of you should collaboratively write the skit. Although the background setting is in a Chinese restaurant, you should always cover the contents from the previous lessons such as talking about hobbies, dates & school etc. to make the conversation more interesting. You should also embrace the culture notes from the textbook and the handouts to reflect your understanding on the Chinese dining customs.
  • There might be a few class time available for your group to discuss the skit writing or performing, but please DON't count on that limited class time. Team work outside class is also very important, please communicate with your group members outside of class, take proactive approaches to reach to your team members in order to make your skit successful.
  • You can study skits from previous year's Chinese III and IV for some inspiration.
3) Do we need props for the skit?
A. Your skits are not just for learning, but also for FUN! I highly encourage all groups to act in a real setting for better results. Here are a few examples from 2010-2011 Chinese III student's skit performance.
